One-Sided Impact Spatter and Area-of-Origin Calculations

The March/April 2011 issue of the Journal of Forensic Identification contains an article titled One-Sided Impact Spatter and Area-of-Origin Calculations. This is the result of a combined effort of FORident Software, L’Institut de Recherche Criminelle de la Gendarmerie Nationale in Paris, France, and the Forensic Identification Section of the Ottawa Police Service in Ottawa, Canada.

The purpose of this study was to examine impact patterns where stains from only one side of the pattern were available to determine what information we could generate from them.

The abstract of the paper is available on our new Bloodstain Research page. [We will also make the paper available there if we receive a PDF.]
